Any place where i can download a collection of William Blake's illustrations in high resolution?

I know only of this site:
http://www.blakearchive.org/blake/main.html
But proably you already knew about it, I don't have all that interest in his works.

The Tate Britain site has some biggish and quite clear ones. Ironically, their actual Blake collection is currently hidden away somewhere while they build a new room to put it all in.

Can't speak for Blake in particular, but google art project has a shockingly wide array of artists generally - http://www.googleartproject.com/artist/william-blake/4130035/

Any way to download shit from google art project?

Not that I know of. I think museums/art owners are generally pretty douchy about that kind of stuff. IIRC my college art history department had to jump through a ton of hoops to post images for courses on-line.

What's interesting though is that I don't think they can be copyrighted unless the underlying work is still subject to copyright (in the US at least). Once something is in the public domain, a simple copy of it can't be copyrighted unless it has some independent expressive element. Which these images do not.

Technically it is possible, but you'd need a special written tool for that. There used to be a couple of working ones, but google, being run by greedy melonheads, quickly made them useless. It's annoying because they have very high quality pictures in their database and no way to get them.
