Gazoo’s famous and distinct “To The Moon” tag can be found around the streets of New York City, especially in Bushwick where Gazoo was discovered by a female cop who caught him attempting to spread his famous signature. When asked the meaning of “To The Moon” Gazoo explains, “to the moon is really all about motivating people and just like reach for your goals.”
