first of all always place something within yoyr catch statement, printing stacktrace won't work with j2me so you might want to do something else (write to system.out or maybe onscreen?)...
also have you tried placing the png's in the root src directory of your project and/or in the resources directory ?
You also might want to do a search in this forum, this kind of problem is very very common and has been discussed (and solved) countless of times...

Hey Welcome to the Forum Nokia Discussion Boards...

Was the println statement System.out.println("Initialize init image"); was printed on the console?
I believe that this must be getting printed..

Now if the next println statement is not getting printed then you must be sure about the few things, like

1.As Tiger discissed,
2.did you put the all images/resources in the res folder if yes then dont forget to add the folder in case of the Netbeans IDE,
3.Plz check the name of the all images typed in the code are exactly same as the imge inside the folder.
4.Plz note that the name of the images are case sensitive and the extensions too.
