Pete Doherty has commissioned a marble sculpture of himself for his solo show at London's Albert Hall on July 12.
Photos of the Babyshambles frontman being plastered in, well, plaster for the statue's cast have appeared in today's (June 11) Sun.
The marble artwork, being created by his artist chum Nick Reynolds (son of Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds), will show Doherty surrounded by strips of newspapers depicting his crucifix by the media.
Reynolds compared Doherty's treatment by the media to that of Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence.
He said: "I was quite pally with Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates and their love affair - like Pete and Kate's [Moss] - went a bit sour. The negative press put a downward spiral on them."

'Big Brother's Mario Bullied Lisa Into Getting Boob Job'
Big Brother’s Mario Marconi has been branded a bully by the father of his girlfriend Lisa Appleton, by urging her to getting a boob job.
Upon entering the house, the 40-year old sales claimed her proudest moment was when her 43-year old lover of three years pawned off his Rolex watch to pay for her boob job.
However, her dad Geoff believes that his daughter was 'bullied' into having the surgery. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he explained: “Soon after they first met he pressured her into having a boob job.
“I am convinced he only did it so he could show her off in front of his mates. I thought he was just after Lisa because he wanted a pretty woman on his arm.
“Lisa has always been stunning, then he wanted her to have a boob job. I never thought she had any issue with her breasts.”
He adds: “Mario is nothing but a sleazeball and a bully. Everything about him is fake. His real name's not even Mario. He's called Shaun for God's sake. He just wanted to sound Italian.
“I hope Lisa dumps him now for her own sake and one thing is for sure - he is banned from stepping foot inside my house.”
Mario and Lisa are both up for eviction this week after failing the couples task.

Shania Twain - Lange Twain Split Is Unfortunate
LATEST: Music mogul ROBERT `MUTT' LANGE has spoken out about his split from country star SHANIA TWAIN, revealing the couple was "growing apart".
Lange has filed for divorce from the singer after 15 years of marriage, and in a brief statement, the music producer admits the separation is "unfortunate."
He tells People magazine, "It's just an unfortunate thing that's happened... It's literally just a growing apart, that's all."
Reports suggest the split was as much of a shock to Twain as it was for her fans.
A source says, "She's devastated. She's getting through it with a very close-knit group of family and friends."
The couple wed in 2003. They have a six-year-old son, called Eja D'angelo.
