Best way to get high resolution images from the internet, save them to a thumb drive, and have them printed on to canvas (I've read Costco is a good place) to hang on the walls?

A relative is trying to get a bunch of different images (super heros, cars, movie posters, personal photos, ect) from the internet and print a bunch out on to canvas to hang on her sons wall. She'd like the entire wall to just be 8X10 of all the cool things her son likes.

Is there a best or easiest way of going about this? Finding these images, resizing them, whatever would go into it.

For an 8x10, you're going to want to look for pictures that are at least 1200 x 1600. Of course, use your better judgement. If it's a crappy looking 1200x1600 on your screen, it's going to look crappy printed out as well.

You can filter out low res photos easily in Google's search. Just click on "Search tools" then size -> Larger than 2mp (1600x1200)

all this is good advice.

I also had a photoshop plugin a few years ago that could actually take lesser res photos and blow them up to printable size with no quality loss

eta: looks like it's now standalone software that you dont need photoshop for.

Its a great tool.
