Mr Chubby is one of the nicest bears we have ever seen Markosie carve.

Markosie Papigatok's Dancing bears are adored for their playfulness and their athletic prowess. 

Some of his bears seem to be practising martial arts.

Mr. Chubby is carved with a stone with black flecks. It is a complex and pleasing combination of darkish colours.

This fellow is so plump and huggable. 

His arms extend forward with his front paws loosely flexed at the wrist.

This is my favourite paw position amongst Dancing bears. It makes the bear look like it is far away in a state of complete bliss.

Papigatok is one of my favourite artists. He carves the most charming and delightful bears. I know that he will never let my clients down. 

Papigatok's bears sell like hot cakes.
