not the art, the design of the card mechanics. Bob Maher, a pro player, created the card as a reward for winning an invitational. I think it was 2004. The art is supposed to resemble him as well.

the new snapcaster mage is such an invitational card as well. so I've been told (I haven't actually checked it)
