We're more than halfway through Banksy's month-long residency here on the streets of New York City, and it's time to check in with his crew (most of whom have probably never even directly dealt with the artist). While the elusive street artist may still be a mystery to most of the world, his inner circle and henchmen are standing right in front of us, a link to the man behind the curtain. Maybe there is safety in numbers, with each crew member muddying the waters and securing his secret identity. While here, he's already introduced a fascinating cast of characters, most of them integral parts of his pieces, others there to do some heavy lifting. Click through to see who we've seen so far, we'll be updating throughout the month. It is our dream that one day Wes Anderson will turn this all into a movie.
