DOHERTY FLOGS OWN BLOOD

Serial tabloid-fodder and alleged drug user Pete Doherty is to sell his own blood.

According to The Observer, the much-maligned Babyshambles frontman will exhibit 14 original paintings and prints created using pen, pencil and the special red stuff.

The gorily-titled exhibition ‘Bloodworks’ will be on display from 15 May at London’s Bankrobber Gallery in Notting Hill.

Bankrobber Gallery employee Robin Barton told the Daily Mail: “[Pete Doherty's] use of blood lends itself perfectly to exploring the extraordinary personal and physical intensity that characterises so much of Peter’s life and work as an artist in the broadest sense.”

Which is bollocks, really.
