Pete Doherty and two other members of Babyshambles have donated postcards to a charity exhibition in Marlborough.

Doherty's postcard, painted using his own blood, will be raffled, while bassist Drew McConnell and drummer Adam Ficek's postcards are available for £5.

Local charities will benefit from the exhibition, which Doherty called “a really good idea”.

“I'm happy to be able to do something for it,” he added.

A spokesperson for the eventtold Gigwise that contrary to tabloid reports, organisers weren't "stunned" to receive Doherty's work.

Doherty's blood art has grown in popularity over recent months, with high profile exhibitions taking place in France and London.

You can see examples of his work below...
