I have two scans of a commission too big for my a4 scanner,
Two images both containing most of the same material, one has a bit more of the top the other a bit more of the bottom,
What can i google to find out how to meld the two, or sew the top on?
what do i even google, its not blending but kind of sewing part of an image to another seamlessly

It's called "use a camera". It makes a thing called a "photograph".

so I can take pictures from a camera of an illustration that will be good enough quality to digitally spruce up?

Err - yeah. How do you think art galleries show digitals? You don't scan a Mondrian.

You can:
Scan the areas of the picture that your scanner covers, moving the picture so that several scans will capture the whole picture. Then use Photoshop to stitch it together using Image > Canvas Size to create the size you need, and import the scans into layers and photo-composite them into one layer. Here's the technique used:

Or you can call local printers and ask if they have scanners that will take the size of picture you have.

If he has an 8 mega-pixel DSLR, a macro-lens and tripod sure. If he doesn't then it's Photoshop that bitch or have it scanned elsewhere.

8mpx is enough? I haven't been too happy with my 23mpx.
Photoshop>File>Automate>photomerge
I do this all the time when I want something scanned in that's too big.
