Dis – Monsterize Disability 

Monsterize is defined as

To make something or another into a monster or the appearance of

Or 

To give another very bad reputation, demonize, vilify.

As a cerebral palsy man I have experienced monsterization along with a lot of people with disabilities. As an artist and children book author my mission is to change the narrative of people with disabilities are viewed and betrayed in media outlets. I chose “Dis instead of De” for a impactful a word play. Bobby Blue is a cerebral palsy character created by me to help people big and small see the value within the disability community.
