Pete Doherty Art for Cab Fare



It’s nice to see that Pete Doherty isn’t dead yet as I haven’t heard from him in a while. The Daily Mail reports that the money-strapped musician has resorted to paying for cab rides from one company with his art. The company’s owner revealed that he told Pete that he’d be happy to provide taxi services in exchange for paintings saying “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 has a point. Limited edition prints signed in Pete’s blood have sold for up to $5,000.
