On Blood: A Portrait of An Artist, Pete Dougherty

Pete Dougherty will be opening his own gallery show in London At The Cob, the medium?  His own blood.    There has to be a method to that madness.  Cool to creepy, thats Pete!

In 2006 fifteen of the singer's blood paintings were sold for around £500,000 at a previous exhibition.  Well theres a way to supplement the needle!

Wait, no more needle either.  What is up with this boy!  Thanks to his new girlfriend some really postive quotes are coming from the rocker

"The only way I see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit. When you're banging up all day you can't really have someone else in your life, especially if she's an English rose. I wouldn't let her touch anything, I just wouldn't."

The frontman also confessed that he's getting treatment with a drug which suppresses withdrawl symptoms and discusses the "hard time" he had in prison, where other inmates demanded money and drugs for protection.

We need to stay positive and we need to try and be less cynical.  Maybe Pete can find inner peace after all.  I have loved his music for years, and I would love to have more of it in years to come. 

But that blood art shit gotta go
