Perhaps he didn't do cocaine, but friends of his said he would deny it even as he was in the middle of doing it. So the only people who will ever know for sure are Andy and his friends.

He was also have said to have to take obetrol (the Adderall precursor) as frequently as one might eat tic tacs, so he was still, by your own admission, a drug addict.

Really though, the point I was trying to make is that he wasn't a very good artist, not because he wasn't capable of it, but because he didn't really try. I could produce a dozen such works an hour (his commercial illustrations), and I'm not an artist either. The difference is, I don't claim to be a professional artist.

I'm not mad at him for making a living, or doing what he loved to do. I just don't think that he was a good artist.
