Images from deceptive musical artist (9)
I believe the answer is:
simulacra
'images' is the definition.
('simulacrum' can be a synonym of 'image')
'deceptive musical artist' is the wordplay.
'deceptive' indicates an anagram.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'musical' anagrammed gives 'simulac'.
'simulac'+'ra'='SIMULACRA'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for simulacra that I've seen before include "Representations (of someone/something)" , "Images, representations" , "Poor imitations" , "Copies" , "Representational images" .)
