In 2004 Levine made history when he created Equanimity, the first ever 3-D holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned by the Jersey Heritage Trust to commemorate 800 years of allegiance to the crown. In 2012 Equanimity was featured on UK postage stamps and £100 commemorative bank notes to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. This celebrated image appeared on the cover of TIME magazine. Levine's series of portraits of Her Majesty are now iconic and have come to define a generation. The portraits Lightness of Being and Equanimity were central to the exhibition, The Queen: Art and Image at London's National Portrait Gallery in 2012 and were seen by over half a million people.
