Pete's artwork, which features self-portraits and a bloodstained crucifixion scene, goes on sale at London's trendy Bank robber gallery today.There are 14 main items, including four canvasses that are expected to make $100,000. The smaller pieces could fetch up to $40,000, while the prints are priced at $2,000.The troubled rocker's artwork has angered anti-drug campaigners who have accused him of "glamorising" his heroin addiction. A spokesman for drug rehab service Narconon said: "Families who have lost loved ones to heroin will be upset. It glamorises drug use."Pete's former Libertines band mate Carl Barat has spoken of his concern for the 28-year-old and has begged him to give up drugs before it is too late. He said: "I don't think he will ever change. I love Pete like a brother and I am working with him again. But he could end up dead in a few years if he doesn't sort himself out."
