Hard to approach this subject, considering I don’t really know where I stand on “Pete Doherty” Anyway, I guess the best way to write this blog is by talking about his artwork. I went along to the Cob gallery in Camden and viewed some of Petes work. I met his manager and asked a few questions…. at first it kind of a strange room to walk into, cluttered with records, cameras and collectables spilling on the floor. Massive flags hanging from the celling and a whole load of other crap that any mental collector would be proud off. Pete Doherty is nuts. There’s no shock in that, no surprise that when you paint in your own blood someone isn’t going to say you have a few screws loose. Pete Doherty is talented, his work is influential, it has character, it also appears, to me anyway to be someone trying to express themselves. It’s like his work explains his mood… I guess the most controversial part of the work is obviously the bit he did’t even do. The bit he influenced someone else to create.

Just a quick blog post, sitting down in front of the electric heater in a New House (not a new home, some what a distant idea yet.)

Actually it was only 2 weeks ago since the premier league was on, but it may of well have been the summer break, if you don’t already know me I’m a gooner (gooner: arsenal fan to those “women”) ((“women”: anyone who doesn’t like football/sport/things I like)) I’m excited, maybe because it’s a new weekend, the boy’s have had time off able to regroup maybe even do some defending in training, who knows?! Arsenal are at home to Sunderland this Sunday, sitting 15th in the table on 7pts with a goal difference of -6 doesn’t feel great but as Alan Davies always says, “it’s back on” and hey we are still in all trophies…but then again nearly everyone is. I suppose if they do get beat and I lose all faith in them at least this weekend has plenty of other sports, the rugby is on, hoping the All Blacks dump on the Aussies. NFL is rumbling through, Detroit of to a very unusual unbeaten start, and then we have the best Moto GP track at Philip Island, and apart from stoner doing well it’s been a great season […]
