From 1995-2001, S.K. Bain was art director of the now-defunct Weekly Standard magazine, which at the time was published by media mogul Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp America. Bain worked in the heart of Washington, D.C., with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and New York Times columnist David Brooks among other journalistic luminaries. During part of that time, the now-infamous Project for the New American Century was co-located with the publication, and next door was the Philanthropy Roundtable, where Bain art directed for Philanthropy magazine. The Roundtable was then under the leadership of John P. Walters, who went on to become President George W. Bush's Drug Czar.
Prior to this, Bain was art director for the Oxford American magazine during the mid-nineties when it was published by best-selling author John Grisham and located in Oxford, MS. More recently, Bain helped establish the Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area and author portions of U.S. Public Law 111-11. The release of Bain’s first book, The Most Dangerous Book in the World - 9/11 as Mass Ritual, took place on September 11, 2012, and subsequently, a series of unfortunate incidents befell its author.
