Knox, who was born in Invercargill, burst on to the New Zealand music scene as the livewire frontman of influential Dunedin bands the Enemy and Toy Love.
He carved out a three-decade-long career as a musician - including as a solo artist and with the Tall Dwarfs, while also working as a cartoonist, writer and reviewer.
Illustrator and designer Chris Mousdale, of Auckland, first met Knox in the mid-1980s and was honoured to be asked to compile the book, titled Grafix Knox - the Graphic Art of Chris Knox, 1965-2014.
Knox's work included graphic contributions for The Listener, The New Zealand Herald and Real Groove magazine, record covers, posters, advertising material and paintings.
Since the 2009 stroke, he had taught himself to paint with his left hand, and had completed about 30 paintings which might be exhibited in the future, he said.
