Pete Loves blood painting:
A bunch of “Pete Doherty is a genius” gear was sold at auction as a fundraiser for the seemingly excellent Amy Winehouse Foundation. One of the items sold was a painting called ‘Ladylike’, which includes a self-portrait by Amy Winehouse. The painting is made using blood and sweat. No – not figuratively… the painting is actually made using a technique Pete Doherty calls ‘arterial splatter’. It sold for £35,000… which is not bad for something that I recently heard described, “eeeewwww… that is totally gross!”
