Alan Moore's amazing shoes by Jeffery~West

Alan Moore and his new shoes!

From Jeffery~West Facebook page: 

"We were honoured to have manufactured Alan Moore's personalised Jeffery-West Poison's, made on bespoke Moon Lasts by Michael James of Springline. The last pair that we made for Mr Moore were the Infamous Gold Winged boots for his character Metterton in Jimmy's End; opposing societal norms in a cacophony of riddles! Only Mr Moore can satisfy our phantasmagorical imagination!" [27th of September 2017] 

Jeffery~West is an internationally acclaimed footwear brand based in Northampton. Their creations have been donned by celebrities across the globe including Mickey Rourke, Nick Cave, David Beckham and... Alan Moore, to name but a few.

Is Moore planning to take over the world?

Frank Metterton in Jimmy's End

In all honesty, how much of what you write now is part of some über-large magical ritual for you to take over the world? With your beard? You could do it you know.
Alan Moore: Of course I’m not attempting to take over the world. What a grotesque concept. On the other hand, in Jimmy’s End and its projected sequel The Show we do present the story of a bearded Northampton-based occultist, performer and writer who is attempting to subjugate the globe by first colonising its imagination, but that obviously only has a coincidental relationship with any real circumstances or people. I mean, the very idea. Do I look like the sort of person who might do something like that? [Read the complete interview HERE]

Mitch Jenkins e Alan Moore sul set di Jimmy's End.

We talked about it some months ago and last November 2012 they were officially released: Act's of Faith and Jimmy's End, the first two shorts in a noirish film series realized by Alan Moore in collaboration with photographer Mitch Jenkins (they previously worked together on the Unearthing project).

Official website: www.jimmysend.com

"[...] The series, comprising five shorts leading up to a feature-length, also entitled The Show, marks Moore’s first writing specifically done for the screen and is set in their mutual hometown, Northampton, exploring the locality’s seedier underbelly.

So far, two films have been delivered: the first, Act's of Faith, follows Faith Harrington (Siobhan Hewlett), a single nymphomaniac living on her own who pursues increasingly insidious ways to fulfil her addiction. The second has James Mitchum (Darrell D'Silva) making his way into the bowls of St James End Working Men’s Club's neo noir-tinged crypt of debauchery and hedonism."
