It would benefit you to find out if the celebs have estates that still own the likeness rights to the images, like Elvis. Or, the photos you may be using for your art may belong to the photographer who took the image, and you would have to pay him/her for the use of the image. You should do a search for images of your intended celebs that are of free public domain. This might be possible if the images are old enough (certainly pre-Internet). Otherwise you'll likely violate copyright or use an image belonging to an estate.

I hope I helped, even though I am not yet an attorney. Good luck!
