Nicolas Claux (born March 22, 1972, in Cameroon) is a convicted French murderer and was a self-proclaimed cannibal. He is sometimes referred to as Nico Claux or even the Vampire of Paris. After his release from prison in 2002, he has been painting portraits of serial killers and depictions of crime scenes and murder victims. He is currently residing in Paris. In 2006, a company in the U.S. began marketing a 2007 calendar showcasing Claux's paintings. Demand was so high that the company is considering a 2008 calendar and a line of posters.
