The second Crouch End Cartoon Arts Art Festival (CECAF) will take place at the Earl Haig Hall, Crouch End, London on 6th June, 2015, hosting the best and brightest cartoonists and independent publishers currently active in the UK comic scene.

As Antony Esmond noted in our report on last year’s event, it’s a small affair, but what it lacks in corporate sprawl it makes up for in friendliness. “We were greeted by friendly faces and a real old school small press vibe,” he said. “…I had real fun at this small show.”

“The past five years have seen a huge growth in creators, publishers and consumers of comics,” says organiser and comic creator Sean Azzopardi. “Crouch End is home to some of these cartoonists, so it seems natural to bring this type of event to the hot creative hub of N8.

“Following on from the energy of this summer’s smash Crouch End Festival, CECAF will provide the opportunity for all ages to experience the varied and engaging world of the independent comic publisher.”
