You can increase the heap space available to your program by adding the VM argument -XmxnnnM where nnn is the megabytes to give to the JVM heap. So for example you could start your program like this:
java -Xmx250M YourGame
which would run the class YourGame in a JVM with 250MBytes of heap available. The default heap size is 64MBytes and that just isn't enough if you have several very large images.
