Franz Wacik's artistic training began at the Strehblow painting school, which Wacik attended after business school in addition to his work as an office clerk. Afterwards, Alfred Roller was his teacher at the Vienna School of Applied Arts. From 1902 to 1908 Wacik studied painting with Christian Griepenkerl, Franz Rumpler and Heinrich Lefler at the Vienna Art Academy. Wacik made a name for himself as a book illustrator, particularly of children's and young people's literature, for example with colored illustrations of works by E. T. A. Hoffmann, Hugo von Hoffmannsthal, Clemens Brentano, fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and the folk books by Till Eulenspiegel. For the book series “Austria's Hall of Fame” he illustrated the volumes about Franz Schubert and Franz Grillparzer. He also worked for the magazines “Die Muskete”, “Jugendrotkreuz” and “Gerlach’s (sic) Jugendbibliothek”. In 1913 Wacik designed the poster for the spring exhibition of the Vienna Secession.
