Corr's trips around the world provide much of the inspiration for his work. His first trip to India in 1986 resulted in a one person show entitled 'Wel-come To India' which was followed by a book and a short BBC TV film of the same title.
Comissions range from book jackets and posters to the Worlds Aids Day 1996 campaign. The Royal Mail sent Corr to Bosnia to paint SFOR, the Peace-Keeping troops for a commemorative stamp in the Millennium Stamps Project. More recently he has been working on children's books.
