Blackbook Legacy TSC x NSA

An exclusive insight into Swedish graffiti history.

Blackbook Legacy presents sketches and documents the connection between two of Sweden’s most influential graffiti crews: TSC (Totalizers) from Stockholm and NSA from Skåne in the south. During the 1980s, both crews stood out for their technical skill and distinctive styles. When they eventually met, their shared passion for graffiti led to a friendship that has lasted for decades.

For the first time, these crews open their private blackbooks to the public. The book features around 100 previously unpublished sketches from seven writers—material that until now has only been seen within the crews and their closest circles. Participating artists: Core, Impact, Phoenix, Pike, Ruze, Skize, Take.

More than just a collection of sketchbook pages, Blackbook Legacy offers rare context and depth. Alongside the drawings, readers gain insight into the stories behind them, with personal memories, reflections, and rare photographs. The result is a unique opportunity to follow the writers’ development—from early experimentation to highly refined styles.

A rare and important release for anyone interested in graffiti history, offering a glimpse into a part of the culture that is seldom documented.
