Pete Doherty...pencils and blood

Pete's been busy making a lot of art, and he's planning on selling some of it. It's pencil and blood. His own blood. I don't know how well blood holds up as a medium, but, I assume it's as good as paint. Pete isn't the first person to do this, for sure, but, his art is touching somehow. I like it.

hideously disgusting and disturbing, I imagine him smearing blood on a mirror while smilling at his reflection...DISTURBED!

He might even smear his lovey dovey fiances menstrual fluid all over his pale body for fun...shivers...he is so gross!

Well, I think his art is absolutely amazing. Yes, it is depressing and strange, but they always say that art is good when it gives you a "gut" reaction.

His self hated is very deep and very sad. Anon 8:29, you really don't understand very much beyond your own reflection in the mirror, do you? Or maybe it scares you to death what you see deep inside yourself and will never admit to. Self-righteous much? Go to church.....it always helps with self-denial issues. Re-inforement and the like....

I actually like it too. Especially the top one. I suppose I'd rather he'd used some brown ink rather than actual *blood*. Who knows what sort of diseases you could catch from it, eew.

I think that petes art, along with his poetry and music, are absolutely fantastic. So fucking what if he takes drugs?? I fucking hate how everyone always just calls him 'junkie pete'..hes an amazingly talented, intelligent guy who happens to have a drug problem...why should he be defined by his problems and not his talents?
