While a name like "Helmut Newton" conjures up the picture of some guy in a WW1 German Army spiked helmet playing around with little weights and pulleys, he apparently wasn't (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Newton).
(Boxing's) Muhammad Ali may have a bit more visibility, but it would be understandable if he didn't, since millions of Muslims the world over apparently have that name.
Jeff Koons: for a second I thought you meant the horror writer, but that's Dean Koontz. Still, it'd cut out the middle man if more creators started sculpting maquettes of their own characters to sell in the comic shops, wouldn't it?
