From earlier in the month, this is what he had to say about the work (still no context for who it is for, but some interesting insight, though given that the blog entry is titled Stan the Man, maybe it’s for this post that you did back on December 14). Anyway Tan features a prelim sketch:

“I tend to hibernate in the fall, hence the no posting for a long ass time. But I finally snapped out of it and I’m now working on a piece based on my favorite super-heroes, the X-men. What’s not to like about them? Outcasts, kinda weird lookin’, crazy effing powers!! They’re like the rock stars of the comic book universe. What really intrigued me about them is that they all live in that mansion. Not to be all pervy, but imagine the crazy mutant sex stories that those walls could tell. Anyways, I’ve always dug those UFA German cinema posters, especially the Metropolis ones. Using them as inspiration, I sketched up a little comp on a napkin. They’re all gonna be sporting their retro uniforms and it’s gonna be like 3 colors max. I’ve cheated it a bit by including Wolverine and Storm. They came later in the series, but I like ‘em and it’s probably my one and only shot at working on the X-men so what the heck, right? Don’t I sound just like a fanboy?”

His style is superb.

I’d definitely buy a print.
