Punkykongz’ Punkvism, Dogecoin Foundation, and JC Philanthropies Unite for Tesla NFT Project
Punkvism, a leading force in the Web3 ecosystem, has announced a landmark collaboration with the Dogecoin Foundation and JC Philanthropies to launch a new NFT initiative. The project is already attracting global attention as a symbolic convergence of blockchain culture, automotive heritage, and digital art.
At the heart of this collaboration lies the Tesla Roadster Art Car, reimagined through Laurence Gartel’s Gartel × Tesla Art Car #1 NFT design. Limited-edition NFTs derived from the vehicle’s imagery will be distributed not through conventional sales but via a raffle-style competition. Each participant will also be granted rights to claim virtual items inside Punkvism’s upcoming metaverse, ensuring practical digital utility beyond simple ownership.
What adds further significance to the project is that both the physical Tesla Roadster Art Car and the Gartel × Tesla Art Car #1 NFT were created by world-renowned artist Laurence Gartel, often hailed as the “Father of Digital Art.” Gartel was recognized by Apple alongside Picasso and Steve Jobs, and is also remembered for having taught digital art techniques to the legendary Andy Warhol.
This NFT launch is gaining recognition as the world’s first competitive raffle-based NFT event. Its roots trace back to the original Tesla Art Car commissioned by Tesla for Art Basel Miami Beach in 2010. Nearly a decade later, in 2022, a limited series of 500 NFTs inspired by this vehicle was attempted. Today, the sole surviving piece — the Gartel × Tesla Art Car #1 NFT — stands as the “digital soul” of the now-absent physical Tesla Roadster Art Car, and forms the foundation of this new release. Archival validation from leading international outlets, including Wired, highlights the project’s historical authenticity, rarity, and the enduring cultural value of the Tesla Roadster Art Car as preserved on the blockchain.
Adding to the cultural resonance, the “lost” Art Car NFT was transmitted via satellite into space last week, accompanied by imagery set against Earth and Mars — symbolizing the initiative’s alignment with humanity’s forward-looking aspirations.
Officials involved expect the collaboration to represent a new cultural intersection, combining Tesla's historical chapter, crypto culture, digital art heritage, and the future.
A portion of the raffle proceeds will be directed toward Dogecoin-related charitable programs, with details to be released in forthcoming updates. Contributions will also support the DTCosmos initiative, which supports the Web3 space, emphasizing the project's focus on community impact.
Regionally, Punkvism will oversee promotional efforts across Korea and Southeast Asia, continuing its track record of expanding Web3 adoption in Asia. The Dogecoin Foundation — one of the most recognizable meme-driven digital assets worldwide —is expanding its presence beyond payments into the NFT and space-related initiatives, including Elon Musk's planned Doge-1 mission in 2025. Meanwhile, JC Philanthropies has safeguarded the legacy of the lost Tesla Art Car and brings on board Marbleland DEX, a decentralized exchange exceeding USD 1.4 billion in daily trading volume, as a strategic Web3 partner.
With infrastructure capable of supporting up to 2.5 million simultaneous users, the initiative is expected to draw substantial global participation, with initial goals pointing to strong engagement during the event.
Industry observers see this collaboration as more than just an NFT launch; It represents a new model that converges heritage, digital art, Web3 innovation, and social good. As such, the Punkvism × Dogecoin Foundation × JC Philanthropies alliance may well be remembered as a defining milestone in the evolution of NFTs and cultural technology.
