Graphics issue, pic won't show up.

[AndroidAppNewbie]

Hi.
Making a menu for my game, and then i've made a picture with instructions to be shown in a new JFrame, next to the menus JFrame. But the image won't show up in my new JFrame. All the code:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;


public class Menu extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

	private ImageIcon image;
	private JButton start;
	
	public Menu(){
		super("Main Menu");
		setLayout(null);
		start = new JButton("Start");
		start.setBounds(0, 60, 195, 30);
		setVisible(true);
		setResizable(false);
		setSize(200, 250);
		setLocation(650, 250);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		start.addActionListener(this);
		add(start);
		
	}
	
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		if(e.getSource() == start){
		    
			new Rules();
		}
		
	}

	public class Rules extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
		
		public Rules(){
			JFrame rules = new JFrame("How to");
			rules.setLayout(null);
			rules.setVisible(true);
			rules.setResizable(false);
			rules.setSize(400, 250);
			rules.setLocation(850, 250);
			rules.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		}
		
		public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
			super.paintComponent(g);
			image = new ImageIcon("imgs/Ibz.png");
			image.paintIcon(this, g, 0, 0);
			
			Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
		}
		
		@Override
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			
		}
		
	}
}

Don't perform file I/O or business logic in a painting method override. Painting methods are strictly for painting.

Load the image to an instance field in the constructor, and paint it in the paintComponent override. Also, don't needlessly construct an ImageIcon -- you can load an Image using ImageIO#read(...)
