I'm trying to think of archosaurs named after artists and so far I've got only one:
Effigia okeeffeae : Georgia O'Keeffe (Fossil was one of thousands found on her ranch.)
I'm sure there must be others.

I've found another: Burianosaurus augustai, an ornithopod dinosaur named after the famous Czech paleoartist and wildlife artist Zdeněk Burian, and Josef Augusta, a paleontologist who worked with Burian.
@llewelly did you know about the great exhibit on fossils named after rock stars, called Rock Fossils?

Not just archosaurs and just for rock stars, but still neat :)
oh, wait, I found it, Dave interviewed Esben Horn, the artist who made the models for the rock fossils exhibit:

but only a small bit of the podcast is about the exhibit.
