Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona collaborated with local popular Native American artist Ryan Huna Smith to develop a comic book and digital mobile app to help educate teens about type 2 diabetes and behaviors that could reduce risk. Smith was chosen for his exciting artwork that blends traditional Native American subjects and themes with main-stream comic book style.
The result is a beautiful comic book called It's Up 2 You! and an interactive free mobile app with a digital version of the comic available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad through iTunes. A limited number of printed comics were also made available for free at a public health fair.
