Media
Further information: Spray paint artOn the streets, Rone's preferred places to stencil are high traffic areas. Rone often paints in broad daylight. Rone's larger images require much more time to put up, so he uses wheat pasting to do quick paste-ups in busy locations . He likes that paste-ups can be used irrespective of the wall background and the way that aging and deteriorating of the paste-up can lead to striking and unique effects. Rone's main form of stencils are large images of women's faces mostly cropped which tower and look upon people that walk by. Rone's art by rule, does not contain any political messages. He says:
"If you think about it too much, it becomes a problem. I paint because want to bring the streets alive."
He also says:
"I paint because I love it, and it adds character to any inanimate object. Whether it is a wall or a footpath. It brings the streets to life."

“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
