Paris-based artist Nicolas Delort creates eerie black and white illustrations on a scratch board surface. All of Delort's works are dark and seem to prelude to coming doom or something supernatural ahead. A few of these spooky etchings even contain a large, shadowy monster.
Delort has been dabbling in scratch board art for a while now and uses only a brush, a marker and a scratch board nib to create these creepy illustrations.
A few of these drawings are set in a cemetery, which adds a sense of unease to them. One of these ominous art works actually seems to include the grim reaper and a devilish baby -- horns and all.
These eerie black and white illustrations make the viewer feel intrigued and a little spooked.
