Among others. His favorite cartoon character is Frosty the Snowman.
Rone's re-contextualising of fashion images has had interesting repercussions. A model who ended up as the face in Rone's "Jane Doe" series ended up searching out the artist. This was reported as a human interest and arts story in Australian newspaper The Age.
