In 1883, he designed posters and costumes for theatrical productions of Gilbert and Sullivan in London. He used the pen-name "Chicot" for some of his theatrical posters. In 1889, Gunn traveled to America; settled in Manhattan and quickly began his American career as a commercial artist. In 1890 he became an editorial artist for The New York World newspaper, and also illustrated the magazine Truth.
