We haven’t heard about him in ages!
Well, nice to see he isn’t dead – yet.
Here’s some new info about England’s other cracky, Pete Doherty.
The Daily Mail reports that a money-strapped Pete has resorted to paying for cab rides from one company with this ‘art’.
The company’s owner revealed to the paper that he told Pete he’d be happy to provide taxi services in exchange for paintings:
“I have come to realise that Pete is brilliantly talented. The composition of his paintings is brilliant and he himself is a very generous and warm-hearted person. I am quite happy for him to pay me in paintings because I know they will be increasingly collectable.”
He might have a point!
Limited edition prints signed in Doherty’s blood have sold for up to $5,000.
Crazy stuff!
Something about the exchange just seems so wrong to us, though. Is Petey being taken advantage of?
What do U think?
