Natasha Archdale makes rude nude portraits for rich clients

JAMES BLUNT’s latest posh bird is a former Sun swimwear model who now crafts nude portraits for rich clients out of old newspapers.

Natasha Archdale makes rude nude portraits Petite brunette NATASHA ARCHDALE’s curves have seen her grace The Sun’s fashion pages on many occasions.

But since turning her back on modelling, the 32-year-old — who has also appeared on TV — has established herself as an in-demand artist who uses paper cuttings to create erotic nude collages.

Her canvases — which feature full-body portraits of herself and high-flying city financiers in the all-together — sell for £15,000 a pop.

“Sex and money always grab people’s attention,” she said by way of explanation.

Singing cavalryman James paraded his latest ladyfriend around the streets of West London yesterday, right.

Brilliant bra-tist ... Natasha Archdale He was sporting his favourite item of novelty headwear again. In December my sides nearly split after seeing the strummer wearing this titfer.

This time around I can barely contain my mirth — or am I confusing mirth with thundering contempt? It’s hard to tell.

Nevertheless, Natasha has already produced X-rated canvases for some very important people.

She’s turned out one of DORRIT MOUSSAIEFF, the wife of the president of Iceland.

The premier’s partner is depicted seated wearing just gloves and a hat. She’s also working on one for former South African president NELSON MANDELA.

And before you ask, she has already created one of the singing cavalryman.

Business is booming for Natasha Business is booming for Natasha — and the credit crunch is actually providing her with more clients.

She said: “I’m getting commissions from people who want to mark these economic times. One wants all the cuttings about the collapse of Lehman Brothers imposed on a picture of a naked model. I can’t possibly mention names but he is a rival banker.”

One of shark-pickler DAMIEN HIRST’s art dealers has expressed an interest in representing her, which would mean a hefty hike in what she can charge for each picture.

Fingers crossed that deal goes through. With a rich partner bringing home the bacon there would be no need for former army officer James to release records or go on tour ever again.

What a marvellous gift to the world that would be.
