Doherty paints 'with his own blood'

Pete Doherty submitted artwork painted in his own blood to an exhibition, The Sun reports.

The We Love Marlborough arts and culture group requested that the rock star send in a picture for display at a children's exhibition in his home town.

To the surprise of the event's organisers, Doherty obliged, submitting a postcard-sized picture of his group Babyshambles painted in his own blood.

A spokesperson for the group said the artwork would be included in the exhibition, adding: "We can't think we will get many postcards painted in blood, not unless one of the children had a nosebleed while doing theirs."
