Pete Doherty Amy Winehouse
Pete Doherty is auctioning off a painting drawn with his and the late Amy Winehouse's blood.

Always fancied buying a piece of rock history, blood, sweat, tears and all? Well, now you can - as Pete Doherty is auctioning off a painting drawn with his and the late Amy Winehouse's blood.

According to The Independent, Winehouse helped Doherty create the masterpiece - expected to fetch up to £80,000 when it goes under the hammer- while on the phone to her father.

“She was on the phone to her dad when she did that,” he told the paper. “She said, ‘Dad, I’m with Pete and he’s making me draw with my blood!’ He didn’t like me much, her dad.”

The piece, titled Ladylike, will be sold on Friday 11 May, alongside other paintings and paraphernalia owned by Doherty, including guitars and military jackets, at London's Cob Gallery.

The gallery promise: "The show will cast new light on Doherty not only as a practicing artist, but as a collector of oddities. As an additional aspect of the show, objects collected and chosen by Doherty will be used to create a unique Gesamtkunstwerk - a Portrait of the Artist."

Some proceeds will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the charity set up in the late singer's name.

Probably shouldn't be selling it, it's got to be at least 60% drugs.

HP monitors. Why do you allow spiritofthe60s free rein to post nothing other than offensive retorts to other posters. On this subject alone he has used expletives to three posters, called one thick, told one to "shut it" etc etc. He is doing the classic, "hiding behind the keyboard abuse" that many of his ilk undertake. This isn't free speech it's an abuse of a system for free speech and debate. Others before me have made similar complaints about his rudeness. Please consider the majority of us when allowing his rants and discourtesies to appear.

I feel for her mum and dad after all would you want a fool like him to have anything to do with a child of yours,some times things should not be sold this is one. If he wanted to do something nice then give it to someone to sell and the money to be given away.

How can they describe him as an "artist". Brain dead smack head would be more accurate. The sooner he follows winehouse, the better. How sick is the person who would buy it!!
