Not sure what he was doing there, maybe something to do with his probation.

Pete Doherty Paints In His Own Blood
The Babyshambles frontman remains true to his controversial image, as he has submitted a band drawing to the gallery, made in his blood.

Pete Doherty decided to join a line of celebrities who have tried their luck in art. Invited by the We Love Marlborough organisation to support their Get In The Gallery project, whose goal is to stimulate kids between the ages of 4 and 18 to take an interest in art, painting postcards, Pete took them on.
- It’s a really good idea and I`m happy to be able to do something for it – said the rocker who is currently touring Belgium with his band.
General delight of the organisers soon turned into astonishment, seeing how Pete not only supported their initiative, but joined other young artists and painted a postcard in his own blood!
Doherty painted his band, The Bambyshambles and included a song in French.
- It`s clear that his knowledge of French is superb – commented Peter Davidson, the organisation`s representative, for the local Gazette & Herald.
Art work of little painters will be exhibited at the Marlborough gallery and the author of every postcard will be anonymous up to the moment you purchase one.
- It should be pretty to ascertain which one is Pete Doherty`s because true to his style he has painted it in blood. I can`t think we will get many postcards painted in blood, not unless one of the children had a nosebleed while doing theirs – Davidson concluded.
The exhibit will run from July 8 until 10.

last night i dreamt he had died now i think it's funny but in my dream i couldn't stop crying, saying "i was sure he wouldn't join the 20-something club, he was almost 30..." lol and i was surprised by how kind of desperate i was but that's how i think i'd react if he died actually... i have very ambiguous feelings towards him, sometimes i get so tired of him seeking attention and ask myself why do i even like him. but when i see pete on stage singing i forget all these silly things he does

^Oh dear, I had a big party and arrive home at 6.00 am, an then I had horrible dreams too and I am so scared so I understand you. And thanks for say that you rememberd me that I have to listen Doherty music to feel better...

 

[m.j.]

it crossed my mind several times... especially when i hear nirvana's song... or read sth about sid vicious.... i think i would end up in ER....

 

[*ana*]

i always think that if i lived in the 60s i'd be in major depression after the death of brian jones. he was so amazingly hot... that white hat... and those striped pants... don't die pete. you're too hot to die.

Please let´s stop the paranoia topic and enjoy something beautiful:

not only he is v. hot, but he an amazing artist... i just love when he makes up lines in his songs... and hes just so funny in interviews. i just wish he would take more responsibility for his own life. i really hate when people talk about pete as some useless **** abuser, or kate's ex boyfriend.
i never met the guy, but i believe hes special, cos past few years without him as an artist would be just tragic... i think i said it thousands of times, but he brought back faith in music to me. after whole brit pop thing, i thought i will never hear something exciting and refreshing like i felt when i heard blur,suede,pulp,...and then the libs appeared from out of nowhere, and i was like WTF, who are they, where did they came from.... i didn't know a thing about the libs apart from the songs. and that was more than enough for me.

ditto. and that bobby gillespie thing, well, we know he's kind of right, pete really is an attention seeker, as i said before, that's what bothers me about him (besides the blood paintings), but as you said, he's a great musician, and he's very charismatic.

 

[Carrme]

so he still does paint in his blood! I always wondered. I find it so cool. I would definetly buy one

Sunday 17-Aug-08 : Hungary Budapest : Sziget Festival

it is on official website of the shambles and of the sziget... and still there are rumors that pete will not play at all this year

??????​

 

[ChillChaser]

The band played two festival dates this past weeked including Les Eurockeennes, so that was just another false alarm...for the time being.

 

[CholoChic]

^Yes!, and Pete looked in form and sang with a lot of energy!!!, sucha cool!
